Ireland’s Boulder Media To Help Produce Fox Entertainment Series In New Pact With Bento Box

Ireland’s Boulder Media has teamed up with Bento BOX Entertainment on a multi-year deal that will see Boulder provide production services for FOX Entertainment animation like Grimsburg and Krapopolis, both of which are slated to premiere Spring of 2023 for FOX. Boulder Media also will support production on third-party series and specials produced by Bento Box.

Wholly owned by FOX Entertainment and produced by its Emmy-winning animation studio, Bento Box Entertainment, KRAPOPOLIS is an outgrowth of Harmon’s direct animation deal with FOX Entertainment. In the series, Ayoade voices “Tyrannis,” the mortal son of a goddess. He’s the benevolent King of Krapopolis trying to make do in a city that lives up to its name. Waddingham plays “Deliria,” Tyrannis’ mother, goddess of self-destruction and questionable choices. Within her extended Olympian family – forged in patricide and infidelity – she’s known as the trashy one. Berry is “Shlub,” Tyrannis’ father, a mantitaur (half centaur [horse + human], half manticore [lion + human + scorpion]). He is oversexed and underemployed, claims to be an artist and has literally never paid for anything, in any sense of that word, for his entire life. Murphy voices “Stupendous,” Tyrannis’ half-sister, daughter of Deliria and a cyclops. Trussell plays “Hippocampus,” Tyrannis’ half-brother, offspring of Shlub and a mermaid, and, obviously, a hot mess, biologically speaking.

In GRIMSBURG, Marvin Flute (Jon Hamm) may be the greatest detective ever to catch a cannibal clown or correctly identify a mid-century modern armoire.  But there’s one mystery he still can’t crack — his family.  Now that he’s back in Grimsburg, a town where everyone has a secret or three, Flute will follow every lead he’s got to redeem himself with the ex-wife he never stopped loving, even if it means hanging out with the son he never bothered to get to know.
